Chase the fear away

Her stuttered words between her sobbing made his chest hurt and instead of reassuring him so he would leave her be like she had hoped it did the opposite. He didn't know what was going on or why she was crying, all he knew was that she was and that wasn't okay. Nothing and no one was ever allowed to make his sister cry. He got up so he could come around to lay right in front of her where her face was currently hidden under her own paws and tail, her tiny body curled into a ball of tan fluff. He tried to nose at her cheek again, his paws gently pulling hers away from her face so he could uncurl her from herself so that it would be easier for him to wrap his forelegs around her shoulders, hugging her tight into his chest. He didn't ask if she was okay again because she obviously wasn't, but he didn't really know what to do to help either besides make her snuggle and try to comfort her.

"It's alright..." he insisted softly, pressing his cheek to the top of her head as he hid her into the fluff on his chest instead of letting her cower alone. "You're alright... I'm here, Mom is here..." Another crack of thunder sounded outside, the storm continuing to rage on and on. He was cure it didn't have anything to do with the storm since there had been a ton of storms this whole last season and none of them had bothered her before now. "Do you wanna talk about it...?" He asked after a little while, leaving it open to her. If she just wanted to snuggle and go back to sleep then he'd let her but if she wanted to tell him what was wrong then he'd listen to her too.
